and FB has retired more times than I've had hot dinners
THis is the trek, and the company I am going with. It is a bit more off the beaten track.
Wilkie, I guess you were there in a bit of a troubled time. I was there just over 2 years ago, and it was really fine. Things were pretty calm - govt/royal family thing was mostly resolved.
Friday heading into the peaks with Bookworm and showing her stanage edge.
Saturday heading into the peaks and digging up a vegable garden for a disabled friend. (I might be able to nick her horse for a few hours after).
Sunday biking to leeds because of hippy work stuff and then doing stuff all afternoon at a eventy.
Monday biking it back hung over.
Jamie - not at the same time I hope? You might spill it!
Actually, our running club is organising a little pub crawl run thing (it was my idea)..i think others have done similar also.
5 pubs or so....a mile or so inbetween each, half a pint in each....run between them.
THey are planning on doing this the day after I get back from hols.
Could get messy!
Thursday night - work drinkies with chaps who are moving to the company that bought a bit of us. I imagine it will be emotional
Friday - making Easter eggs and then Mass.
Saturday - hair cut, then off to see my brother and his family, with aforementioned Easter eggs. Evening Mass and then CHOCOLATE TIME.
Sunday - 10k race followed by more CHOCOLATE TIME. Probably making more eggs
Monday - having friends and their demon kids over for lunch. Hoping to distract demon kids with handmade eggs.
Friday, visiting a local seaside town
Saturday, nothing in particular planned
Sunday, wedding anniversary, backyard BBQ planned
Monday, recovering from BBQ, then I'm off for the next week and not in again until the day after May Day Bank Holiday.
We're so British. The moment we get a sniff of good weather, we're dusting the BBQs off!
With weather this good now, it means we're in for crappy summer
Not only have we dusted off the old BBQ, hubby went out and bought a new one this afternoon.
Out of interest, does anyone know how I can turn the old one into a smoker? My son's into fishing and hopes to catch loads of mackerel again this year, so I said I'd have a go at smoking some of them.
oooh...well, Easter weekend starts for me tomorrow Nick...it's my buffday, so I've booked it off work, Mr.S is taking me out for sushi tomorrow night...then Fri night am getting together with some friends, Saturday we're doing a really long walk and making tiffin (and possibly having a BBQ with some neighbours), Sunday we have a family day with SiL and on Monday, we'll just be chilling out, I think.
Let's hope that prediction's not right, k8 - though my allotment could do with some rain!
Not sure, Kwilter - though I think for a smoker you'll need to block up some of the holes and keep the lid on tight, maybe?
I hate to say this but I really think you're right.
A warm spring does tend to precede a cool, wet summer.
My weekend starts @ 10am today after a site meeting with various peeps.
This afternoon I will taking flake the choc lab for a swim @ Newgale our fav beach,then on it St Davids were Intend to spend some of the burfday wonga I was given recently in Fat Face.
This evening I am refereeing an U13 football match,followed by a few cold ones with friends.
Friday,Painting what will be our babies nursery room & BBQ with Friends.
Saturday,last match 2nd team of the season followed by a bus tour around numerous pubs in pembs with all the lads.
Sunday,long walk & out for lunch.
Monday,doing nothing for nobody.
Happy birthday Deadstar and Sossidge!
My plans:
Friday - heading off into the peaks for a picnic and shenannigans
Satuday - digging a vegetable garden for a local charitable trust
Sunday - I'll be all on my own, writing my dissertation and hoping chocolate will cure my grumpiness
Monday - as for Sunday
Some running and biking will also be in there
All we're left with is the hope of an Indian summer
Happy birthdays to TDS & Deadstar!
Hello!
We're having a Mad Hatter's Tea Party for my sister's birthday on Saturday. We'll be serving Pimm's from teapots and Sambuca from medicine bottles (saying drink me on the label!) in chess piece shot glasses. Tomorrow I'm baking cakes all day and decorating the house and garden - got loads of crazy decorations. I'm dressing as Alice and my sister is dressing as a flamingo! Sunday will be a continuation of the party, no doubt, and Monday - recovery!
Can't wait!
i'll have them!! great running fodder!
Tonight - training at Luton then post Brighton/London drinks with Leighton Buzzard AC/LFun Runners in town
Friday - attempting a longish run
Sat - to Yeovil to watch Bournemouth win (hopefully!) and lots of beer...very athletic
Sun - recover
Mon - postponed LBAC handicap race
All good...
Thursday choosing between going out with friends or snacks and TV (body screams TV after two late nights out in a row).
Friday picnic in the park with friends.
Saturday dressing up as a witch, handing out home made happy easter cards in return for money or candy, then eating herring, boiled eggs with caviar. Then rifle shooting competition, bonfire and fireworks to scare away the witches.
Sunday tracking down last nights fireworks left overs so the cows won't eat them.
Monday picnic in the park.
Maybe a run or two thrown in there if the knee holds up.
Friday - working
Saturday - working
Sunday - working
Monday - working
Spare a thought for us air traffic controllers getting you away this weekend!!
I am running and swimming nearly all the time
Thursday - I move into my first flat - yippee!
It's next to a lovely lake I have membership of, so I'll be in there at some point over the weekend.
I get my road bike back out of storage, so I'll go off on that too.
New running routes to explore as well.
Annoyingly I need to organise a washing machine, wardrobe, chest of drawers, getting locks changed and other moving-in things. I may have my priorities wrong.
BBQ -
hate em.
Do I have to do anything? I was just going to do the same old same old. Taking an easter egg when we go see mil - not that she'll understand or even know what it is. oh well, it's the thought that counts. (prolly should just give her a bowl of sugar really).
Yes, agreed us Swedes are a bit odd
